The Cameroon Leadership Forum project (CLF) supports PICAM’s Democracy and Human Rights programs. It is premised on the fact that an understanding of the nature of challenges facing Cameroon and Cameroonians is crucial to poverty eradication, economic reconstruction, human development, good governance, respect for human rights, and the establishment of a sustainable democracy in Cameroon.

The CLF project consists of a series of small scale events, mostly expert speeches, discussions, and debates about some of the most pressing challenges facing Cameroon. The speaking events will be organized as a town hall conversations and PICAM may from time to time join forces with other organizations or entities in the United States and in Cameroon to organize events under the banner of the Cameroon Leadership Forum.

The guest and expert speakers will be selected fundamentally for their knowledge in a specific field essential to the vision for the building of a democracy in Cameroon. In addition to this, care will be taken to ensure that speakers satisfy highly calibrated criteria, among which is their intellectual standing, professional experience, commitment to democratic values, and viewpoint for a visionary leadership in Cameroon.

The promotion of the above lofty principles is at the core of the activities of PICAM. Therefore PICAM advocates for and carries out activities that call for decision makers to ensure that public policies have informed basis, rooted in proven strategies for economic development, democratic participation, and political stability. The CLF project will go a long way to empower members of the public to be able to appraise whether government actions are rooted in democratic principles.

The Cameroon Leadership Forum project will also seek to mobilize Cameroonian youths on reform centered ideals such as positive leadership qualities, ethics, and accountability. It will provide Cameroonian youths with the opportunity to meet with various experts on diverse topics and give them the opportunity not just to listen an ask questions, but to be able to learn from their personal experience and individual character of these experts.
